THE WONDERS.
Your laughter i'll try to provoke,
With the words I've got in my travels;
And first is a pig in a poke,
Next a law-case without any cavils;
Tol lol, &c.
A straw poker, a tiffany boat,
Paper boots to walk dry thro' the ditches;
A new lignumvitæ great coat,
Flint waistcoat and pair of glass breeches.
Tol lol, &c.
A dimity warming pan new,
Steel night cap, and pair of lawn bellows:
A yard-wide foot-rule, and then two
Odd shoes that belong to odd fellows.
Tol lol, &c.
China wheelbarrow, earthen-ware gig,
A book bound in wood with no leaves to‘t,
Besides a new velveret wig
Lin'd with tripe, and a long pair o‘ sleeves to't.
Tol lol, &c.
A coal-scuttle trim'd with Scottish gauze,
Tickled crimpets and barricoed muffins;
